It is not the first time that interiors have taken their cue from mother nature. Forget pretty, dainty or twee, the Bugs and Beasts Edit by Surface View is bold with large-scale artworks, shadowy backgrounds and detailed anatomical prints that show off this fantastical menagerie in all its glory.

Surface View’s collections from the Natural History Museum és a V&Egy include super sized Japanese dragonflies, the spiky legged Lucanus Cervus beetle and butterflies laid out in regimented rows, such as Mimicry Among Butterflies by Henry W Bates.

Since Stella McCartney’s iconic collection for Chloe in 2001, horse prints have looked equally as good in interiors as they do on her chic designs. There are whole herds of magnificent seventies style stallions galloping across suitably gloomy skies in the Land of Lost Content Collection.

Last but not least, lets not forget our feathered friends. The Bugs and Beasts edits includes the most majestic of birds; ‘American White Pelican, Pelecanus Erythror’ by JJ Audubon’s from the Natural History Museum Collection is a glorious 19th century coloured engraving, perfectly encapsulating this bold and beautiful trend.

With the relaunch of the famous Danish dersign icon Hoptimist in 2009 came a number of new models. The Easter figures Bunny, Lambert, Chick & Chuck are examples of the development that has taken place. Easter are all about joy, so it was only natural to design these Húsvét Hoptimists to spread the holiday cheer at this festive time of the year. The Easter Hoptimist figures are only available as baby models.

Not a lot has changed since the first Hoptimists, designed by Gustav Ehrenreich, came along in 1968. Ma, just as back then, the Hoptimists are still little pick-me-ups. They represent a new start and remind us to always be happy and optimistic. One little clap and the happy little hoppers jump smiling on the spot, radiating joy of life and cheerfulness with their positive aura.

A Conny Brozek Gyűjtemény consists of preliminary two styles – Atomic és Kinetic. They consist of small chrome balls at swaying springs that are attached to a small plastic stand. It is stable enough to keep the rolling vibrations of the beads. Both are offered with crome, copper and brass balls.

The mobile Atomic & Kinetics is a perfect match to the Bimble és Zümmög.

Conny Brozek was trained as a decorator in the department store Magasin in Copenhagen. He later worked as a free-lance designer for the trading company Laurids Lønborg in the 60+’s and 70’s. He designed amongst other products, the unique table mobile with balls in 1964, which during the next two centuries becomes known worldwide. The timeless accessories were produced till 1970.

Anderssen & Voll’s Indoor Gardening products were realized with the help of an international team of designers and craftsmen. The glass was made by Gregor Herman; the metal work was done by Danish company Harnisch Lamps; the pots were hand-thrown by Canadian-Portuguese ceramist Filipa Pimentel; and the wood handles of the watering cans were made by Urban Product.

As part of the collection, standard plant pots have been adapted for indoor flora. The Herb Pots, which have a lip-like opening near their base, are designed for the fresh herbs that can be bought pre-potted from a supermarket.

Cacti prefer to be watered directly into well-drained soil and their roots should never be standing in water. Ezért, Anderssen & Voll adapted the design of the New Mexico cactus pots by lifting the container on a short stem above the water-collecting disc.

The shape of the metal Min watering can – with a softly shaped wooden handle and elongated spout – was chosen for its pouring precision. “Indoor gardening is a miniature world,” said Anderssen. “Clean, cultivated and controlled.”

Anderssen & Teljesen also created a sculptural glass object with two stalks and bulbous ends. The Water Bulb filters liquid through the soil so it seeps slowly into the pot, in a similar way to a makeshift solution created with a plastic bottle turned upside down.
